if, i was cynical of course i'm not very cynical, i would say that the obama administration is taking opportunity to do something else which might explain why they haven't done it in the past or giving fanfare to it now. sanctions haven't done much. seemed to slow up the nuclear program, what do you think? >> well, the nuclear program hasn't been successful as yet, but, it would seem to me that the reason why it hasn't been successful is that there have been technical problems rather than any deliberate slowness to it. and it is just taken the iranians time to overcome these technical problems. melissa: in the meantime we've been reporting on the hyperinflation that's going on in iran. you know we have seen pictures and video on the internet of people rebelling against this and really struggling. do you think this is a result of the sanctions? do you think it is having any sort of impact on the government? >> that's two questions. it is partly the result of the sanctions. iran's economy is being squeezed. it can't sell oil that it wants to in the quantities that it wants to. the resul
